Subject: mm/migrate: exclude hugetlb folios from MTHP_STAT_NR_ANON accounting
Date: Thu, 2 Jul 2026 11:25:47 -0600

__folio_migrate_mapping() increments MTHP_STAT_NR_ANON for the destination
folio when `folio_test_anon(folio) && folio_test_large(folio)` is true. 
However, hugetlb folios satisfy both conditions despite having a
completely separate accounting system; they use hugetlb_add_anon_rmap()
which does not touch mTHP stats, and their free path also bypasses the
mTHP decrement in __free_pages_prepare().

This causes MTHP_STAT_NR_ANON to be incremented on each hugetlb migration
without a corresponding decrement, permanently inflating the nr_anon
counter.

Add a !folio_test_hugetlb() check to both places in
__folio_migrate_mapping() so that only actual mTHP folios are counted.
